Aztec commission approves fire-hose purchase, adopts solid-waste rate ordinance and special budget resolution

The Aztec City Commission approved a set of routine business items including the purchase of fire hoses and couplings for the fire department and the final adoption of an ordinance updating solid-waste rates.

The meeting opened with a motion to approve the agenda, which passed by voice vote. The commission then approved the consent agenda with a roll-call vote; no items were removed. Business Item A—purchase of fire hose and couplings for the fire department—was moved and seconded and carried with the commission voting in favor.

Chair (speaker 1) introduced Business Item B, Ordinance 2026-566, described as an amendment to Chapter 16, Division 3, Section 16-211 regarding solid-waste rates. The commission moved and seconded final adoption and conducted a roll call. Business Item C, Special Budget Resolution 2026-1152, was likewise moved, seconded and carried. Later in the meeting the commission returned from closed session and moved to approve the first amended and restated City Manager Employment Agreement.

The motions were procedural and accompanied by standard roll calls; the meeting record shows the motions were seconded and carried but does not provide a line-by-line vote tally in the transcript for every recorded motion. The items approved included: the fire-hose procurement, final adoption of Ordinance 2026-566 on solid-waste rates, and Special Budget Resolution 2026-1152.

The meeting adjourned following approval of the city-manager employment agreement.
